Dylan's Visions of Sin by Christopher Ricks

Bob Dylan's ways with words are a wonder, matched as they are with his music and verified by those voices of his. In response to the whole range of Dylan early and late (his songs of social conscience, of earthly love, of divine love and of contemplation), this critical appreciation listens to Dylan's attentive genius, to his apprehension of deadly sins and his comprehension of living virtues, all alive in the very words and their rewards.

He was formerly Professor of English at the universities of Cambridge and Bristol. He edited the standard edition of Tennyson, and the unpublished poems of TS Eliot.
